Jeongcheol's Secret (Jeonghan & S. Coups)

Chapter 1: Subtle Feelings

S. Coups (POV)

Time: Before the prologue

I looked into the crowd of screaming girls and flashing cameras for the last time before leaving the stage with the rest of my twelve sweaty members. My face broke out into a large grin due to how astonished I was at how successful we had actually become. 

We all assembled into a line and suddenly I felt an electric spark as someone's hand slipped into mine. I looked up and saw it was Jeonghan with a small cute smile on his face, and I looked around and realized we were all joining hands and bowing. I brushed off the shock, held Dino's hand which was next to mine and we made our exit off the stage while the roaring of the crowd filled my ears. 

Excitement filled the room backstage as all the members were bustling with energy and adrenaline still lingering from the performance.

"That was a great show everybody! Great job!" I said while we all fueled up on some water.

"Yeah that was almost perfect! I'm so proud of us!" Woozi added.

After some "thank you's" the room was full of light chatter and playful games.

Suddenly someone asked, "Hey does anybody have any water left? I can't find my bottle." 

I looked up and saw that it was Jeonghan. 

"Aish, you're always misplacing your things! Especially in our room; you can never find your stuff. But here, you can have some of mine."

Jeonghan took the water bottle from me and sassily retorted with " Yeah, well that's because our room is always a mess! Your underwear is always on the ground and you never put your shoes away. And I'm the irresponsible one?"

All the other boys went "OHHHHH" at that while Jeonghan smirked with satisfaction. 

I blushed and defensively added, "Well I'm very busy, you know, being the leader! So, I don't have time to clean."

"Sure, sure" Jeonghan replied with light sarcasm as we headed out the doors of the performance area and towards the bus to take us home. 

Outside was cool and calm. The shining moon twinkled along with the stars speckled across the sky. I walked next to Jeonghan and he talked about the concert and the group's plans for tomorrow. I tried to listen but my mind went to how the white beams  of the moon shined and brought out his attractive features. 

"Hey you wanna sit next to each other?" Jeonghan asked me, suddenly breaking me out of my trance.

"Huh? Yeah of course." I said with a smile. This brought some fluttery feelings to stomach.

We sat next to each other, Jeonghan on the window side of the two-per seat bus. His arm brushed past mine, and in that instant I felt the shock again. I looked up at him to see if he felt it too, but he didn't seem affected and only gave me a small, tired smile. In fact, I could see that he was very drowsy and his eyes started to close a bit.  

Once we started the half-our drive back to our hotel, he was asleep with his head on my shoulder. This notion made me feel all warm inside. His long hair fell onto his face, which I found endearing. I tucked a bit behind his ear, got a good look at his peaceful face and decided to fall asleep with his angelic image in my head.
